Chapter 223

Apep lowered his head, his eyes filled with admiration.

"From now on, you follow me! I'll protect you!"

Hearing Apep's words, Jiang Yan suddenly laughed.

It was as if he had expected Apep's words all along.

"System."

【?】

"Come out and work!"

Jiang Yan spoke lightly.

【Tsk, you really know how to find work for me.】

The System's voice rang out in Jiang Yan's mind.

"Well, who else would you get but such a considerate host as me?"

Jiang Yan chuckled.

The System did not speak again; a faint fluctuation rose around Jiang Yan.

Immediately, Apep, standing nearby, felt a mighty power descend from the heavens, pressing him down so he could not move.

In terror, he discovered that facing such power, he could not even communicate with the power within his body.

This mighty power seemed to have planted something within his very soul?!

"Boy! What have you done to me?!"

Apep looked at him, his face shifting uneasily.

Jiang Yan smiled and extended his left hand; upon his left hand, a faint imprint appeared.

"From now on, you are my mount!"

Jiang Yan said with a smile.

"Hah, a clever little fool!"

Apep decided to leave this place, for the boy before him was truly too eerie.

But as Jiang Yan loosely clenched his left hand, Apep suddenly fell to his knees in pain.

He felt as though his very soul was being torn apart.

Fear spread through his heart.

No!

I have just restored my strength!!

I won't!!!

Apep struggled frantically; then, he heard Jiang Yan's light voice ring in his ear.

"Now, are you being good?"
